Agreement, Source Unknown~Do You Know it’s Source?


The following document came into my possession many years ago and I don’t know it’s source. It bothers me greatly to have this information in my genealogy database without a proper source citation. If you have any information about this document please contact me through this blog or by e-mail.

  1. Charlie, that must be frustrating to have valuable document without knowing its origin. It is packed full of names. I hope someone can identify it for you.
